Lenten Reflection Day 4 (Feb 25): REND (from Joel 2:12-17).
SONG: Rend Your Heart by MNaria Gilpin: https://youtu.be/srhuEphj9Y0
POEM: HD (Hilda Doolittle): Garden (excerpt). II. O wind, rend open the heat, cut apart the heat, rend it to tatters. Fruit cannot drop through this thick air— fruit cannot fall into heat that presses up and blunts the points of pears and rounds the grapes. Cut the heat— plough through it, turning it on either side of your path.
QUOTE: Charlotte Bronte: “… be still; don’t struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation.” “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”
